It can be difficult to get to know each other or engage in deep conversation in the noise & distraction of coffee hour or in a few moments of greeting.

My sermon this morning will include reflection on immigration history, worker justice issues, civil disobedience philosophy and the prison industry. Our worship this morning will include a couple of great songs from the Unitarian Universalist soundtrack of the Human Rights Summer!
